How bloody annoying is this during these days of high cost living?

Taxpayers foot £300,000 bill for MPs’ soaring energy costs at second homes

MPs charged taxpayers almost £300,000 for energy bills and other utilities at their second homes over the past year, a new analysis by The Independent has found.

Campaigners said the record-high figure shows that Britain’s politicians are “insulated” from the cost of living crisis, since so much of their energy costs are covered by the public purse, while millions struggle to pay.

Tory ministers Suella Braverman, James Cleverly, Alex Chalk, Victoria Prentis, Alister Jack and James Heappey are among senior figures who claim gas and electricity costs at their second homes.

MPs’ claims for gas, electricity and water amounted to £292,000 in 2022-23, according to an analysis of data from the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA).

It marks a significant increase on last year’s bill for MPs’ utilities, which totalled £253,000 – a reflection of the spike in gas and electricity prices since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last February.

Home Secretary James Cleverly is in Rwanda to sign a new treaty with the east African nation on the government's asylum plan.

The planned policy - first announced in April 2022 - would see some asylum seekers sent to Rwanda to claim asylum there.

But the plan has hit legal setbacks and was blocked in its previous form by the Supreme Court, which called it unlawful amid concerns about Rwanda's justice system.

The government hopes an enhanced treaty - and "emergency" domestic legislation - will prevent its scheme hitting more legal obstacles.

The BBC has also been told that the new deal could see British lawyers stationed in Rwandan courts to address.

Ahead of his trip, Cleverly stressed that Rwanda was a safe country - and he was committed to deterring migrants from crossing the English Channel in small boats.

The UK has already paid the Rwandan government £140m for the scheme - but no migrants have yet been sent there.

Seeing as how I lost a few friends to this I'll readily admit I'm overjoyed Rishi failed in his plan to delay this.

Rishi Sunak suffers his biggest revolt yet as PM rocked by Commons defeat

Rishi Sunak last night suffered his first House of Commons defeat since becoming Prime Minister, with MPs voting to establish a compensatory body for victims of the infected blood scandal.

The amendment, tabled by Labour, was passed by 246 votes to 242.

Sunak has a working majority of 56 MPs, with 22 MPs rebelling to support the amendment.

The Haemophilia Society said the Prime Minister "should be ashamed" he had been forced "to do the right thing".

The Government will be required to establish a new body which will administer full compensation within three months of the bill becoming law.

Thousands of people died in the 1970s and 1980s after being infected with HIV and hepatitis C through contaminated blood products imported from the US.
